The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 704

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre. We are experiencing a wave of storms at present. We were just done with Dudley last night and this morning Eunice is ripping through Cork and Kerry, our farm and gardens leaving a lot of repair work to go through. When natures storms arrive it leaves us powerless, sometimes wounded and broken. Nature repairs itself quickly and naturally. In our case as humans when we are wounded it can lead to places of purification and repentance. The more open we are to recovery, the greater the wholeness. Pain is life. The sharper the pain the more evidence of life. When pain arrives we must practice humility just like the humility of the earth. Even during storms, it transfigures all that has fallen of outlived growth. We must now ask for the forgiveness of earth and Mother Nature for our sins against her. Her beauty will return and so will ours with patience and kindness. Continue to pray, bless, power healing and peace to all who need it and wear your smile.
